SuperDeluxe !! Thanks for 16 years !! /  by Mark Dytham

After 16 amazing years of thinking and drinking at our beloved SuperDeluxe, things will draw to a planned pause as the building becomes part of a large re-development project - such is Tokyo!

The story began in 1998 in Azabu Juban when we opened “Deluxe” - one of the first shared creative spaces in Japan.

私たちの愛するスーパーデラックスは、周辺の再開発プロジェクトに伴い、16年間の数々の思い出とともにその歴史に幕を下ろすこととなりました。それが東京。

物語の始まりは1998年、私たちは麻布十番に東京で最初とも言えるクリエイティブなシェアスペース「デラックス」をオープンさせました。

2002 saw us set up “SuperDeluxe”, a full year before Roppongi Hills opened. It quickly become an amazing creative kitchen for music, performance, art and design. 

その「デラックス」は成長を続け、2002年、六本木ヒルズがオープンする1年前に、私たちは更にグレードアップした「スーパー・デラックス」をオープンさせました

Since news broke, we have been humbled by your wonderful messages and numerous articles and posts.  James Hadfield wrote in the Japan Times:

オープン後もジャパンタイムスをはじめ、様々な反響をいただきましてありがとうございます。

“That it’s hard to imagine Tokyo without SuperDeluxe is testament to the unique place the venue has occupied within the city’s cultural landscape. When architects Klein Dytham set it up in 2002, they envisaged a place that could be something to everyone: live music venue, gallery, meeting hall, performance space and a lounge in which to enjoy the house-brewed Tokyo Ale.

“One of its early successes was PechaKucha Night, a sort of speed show-and-tell session for creative types that ended up spawning editions in more than 1,000 cities around the world. SuperDeluxe has also hosted fashion shows, screenings and exhibitions, but its contribution to the city’s music scene has perhaps been the most significant. Under the guidance of booking manager Mike Kubeck, the venue offered a home to experimental music at a time when few places would touch it. Countless luminaries from the worlds of free jazz, noise, improv and electronic music have played there over the years.

Over time, the scene SuperDeluxe had helped nurture became atomized, spreading out to smaller venues inspired by its flexible, DIY ethos; it’s hard to imagine places like Soup, Forestlimit or Nanahari existing without it. Farther afield, it was a direct inspiration on Cafe Oto, London’s leading venue for experimental music.”

The idea of article and subsequently a film all came about during a excited conversation in Shoreditch House with Marcus Fairs when Mark talking about KDa's stable of 3 drones and how they are changing the way we work and see architecture. Congratulations to the whole Dezeen team producing such a great movie. It's amazing what couple of martinis can trigger! #kleindytham #kleindythamarchitecture #kdatoday #dezeen #normanfoster
